I bought a used Gigabyte Windforce R9 380 Gaming 4GB card (990Mhz clock) and i'm having Atom15 woes. Atiwinflash_271 fails to read the BIOS, and sometimes just crashes. I got a BIOS file using AMDVBflash_win_3.20, and Atom15 1.6 says it patched ok. But when i reflash using the same tool, it works, then the card bricks on restart. I've recovered using an old card and tried again a few times. Anyone have any ideas?
Original R7 380 BIOS file is attached as zip. This one if rev F50.
EDIT: I also tried using Atom15 1.5 with the same result. The BIOS patches ok, or says it does. The AMDVBflash tool says it flashes ok, but the card bricks on restart.

Instead of using Windows. Have you tried creating a USB Pendrive with FreeDos and used amdvbflash_dos_4.68 instead?

I have not. I probably should. I can already flash the card, reflash the card, and move up and down BIOS versions using the offical and third-party tools interchangeably. I can even force-flash a BIOS from a similar card, boot from it and read it back bit-perfect. And then whenever i try to mod the BIOS with Atom15, no matter which version of either, the card becomes a brick and forces me to recover it.
I cannot imagine using DOS will help, but you are correct to suggest it, and i thank you. Now i have to figure out how to use DOS :/

Use Rufus to create a bootable Freedos USB

I know Rufus, yes :)
And sadly I get the same result. I extract the BIOS under FreeDOS, mod it, flash the mod back to the card, and it bricks on restart. Easy enough to recover now i'm set up, but still doesn't work :(

Bummer dude :'(
Never any guarantees with ATOM-15 :dunno
